Indian team's fast bowler Mohammed Shami has finally had to undergo surgery. The injury sustained during the World Cup 2023 kept him away from cricket for several months, but now he has undergone surgery on his heel. This is a big blow for Team India, as he will not be available for the T20 World Cup 2024. Before this, IPL 2024 is to be held, in that also he will not be able to play for Gujarat Titans.
Pacer Mohammed Shami, who took 24 wickets in 7 matches in the World Cup 2023 played in India, informed late on Monday 26 February that he has undergone an operation. Shami shared some pictures on
Out of IPL and T20 World Cup
Shami underwent leg operation at the end of February, but it will take more than 6 months for him to return to the field. Because of this, he may not be available for IPL 2024, T20 World Cup, limited overs series against Sri Lanka in July and then the home series to be played against Bangladesh and New Zealand in October-November. However, he may be fit for the Australia tour. In this way this is a good news.
Test cricket will get a boost in this way, BCCI is considering increasing the salary.
Let us tell you, after the World Cup 2023, Mohammed Shami went to the National Cricket Academy i.e. NCA in Bengaluru for rehab. There was no relief from his injury, so he was sent to Britain to get a special injection. However, that injection also had no effect on Shami's injury, so in the end he had to undergo surgery. If this work had been done earlier then perhaps he could have been fit till the T20 World Cup.
